Since it's a vintage Jeep, I wanted to go for a vintage look out of the camera rather than in post-production. To do that I upped the ISO to 3200 to get that grainy look but to mitigate the effects from overexposure in the afternoon Sun, I attached an ND filter to the lens to get a balanced exposure for post-production. All in all, I had taken around 900 photos, out of which 400 were selected to edit, and then just over 130 were left to feature here.

I started the day by visiting my favourite spot in Newport at around noon to take photos of the 1995 Jeep Wrangler in a muddy field, which turned out fantastic. I then stopped at BP Newport for some refreshments.

Next, I headed near Newport interchange to follow the 103 bus route that I drive, capturing photos and recording a potential POV video. As the route ends in Wellington, I parked at the Wellington Pepes branch, enjoying a meal with a lovely view of the Wrekin.

From there, I drove to Much Wenlock to record another POV video and take photos of the Jeep at the vintage Birchfield garage, where I previously photographed my friend Sim's Honda (check out my featured posts for those photos).

Afterwards, I visited Holmer Lake, passing by Ironbridge. Holmer Lake is on the 100 express bus route I drive in Telford, where I took photos of the Jeep with the lake in the background.

Returning to Ironbridge Gorge, I captured more shots of the Jeep with the bridge behind it. Despite taking a wrong turn, I discovered a breathtaking location to photograph, which was a pleasant surprise.

I started my journey home at 8 pm but made one last stop near the Stafford JLR M54 motorway junction to photograph the Jeep on the motorway bridge.
